Another heavy period on the computer this with getting a Playlist for Picture Memories of Yorkville together. Just finished this project earlier this evening and posted a link to several groups on Facebook. It’s basically 29 videos covering hundreds of pictures collected over the years on assorted websites.

So, with that project finished, on to another for next week, here goes with this weeks Friday Roundup.

NOTE: Also, I’m still working on doing an intro for the assorted groups on Facebook under my Admin and putting a new intro for each group and the respective videos that I have related to that facebook group. Like I said, use the comment section to engage other visitors who leave comments on the videos and not only the facebook postings.

We’re getting close to getting a weekly rhythm on these blogs and the weekly roundup on Friday. I got thousands of pictures and tunes to share and hopefully I can find a way to fund the day to day operations. Having side dinero would give me peace of mind.

Starting off the last month of the year on December 1st and trying to really get used to this but babysitting came to the forefront for three days this week doing the greendougherty.blog and a lot of time spent putting out an updated Out West Medical Employers took over most of my time.

So, with that purpose in mind, here goes with this weeks Friday Roundup.

First off, today, November 10, 2017, is the U.S. Marine Corps birthday, the 242nd Birthday since its founding in 1775. Oorah!

Now, getting back to the Friday Roundup.

The first thing that I’m concentrating on is doing a little editing on my KA Favorite Tunes, or, as I know them as Kick-Ass Favorite Tunes. Right now, we’re at 100+ but I know for sure that this list will grow if I get support (Subscribers).

That covers this week’s updates to Marty’s Blogs. I’ll be adding tunes to the Oldies (Doo Wop) Music over time as I go through my music collection and look for the same tunes on YouTube.

Another one of the blogs that I do periodically is that of the Irisha or Italiano blog which related to my conversion to the Italian race, or, marrying an Italian. The Irisha or Italiano blog deals with that conversion period and the stories and the peiople that I met along that journey. What makes the stories a little funny is that when I joined the family, my father-in-law had a parkign lot in the middle of Little Italy and Chinatown on Hester Street, the Godfather saga was being filmed, the FBI and TV crews were following the boys on a regular basis getting ratings, pretty much like today, and via my father-in-law, I got to meet some of these people and heard a lot of stories.

Families of Yorkville – Dougherty

The Dougherty family is from 324 East 85th Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues, in Yorkville. The family was composed of Katherine (McGarvey) and Michael (Doherty) Dougherty and three boys, Michael Patrick and Martin (that’s me).

Flowers of the Dougherty Garden

The Flowers of the Dougherty Garden Index in Pictures and Videos. This covers all the old and the new pictures and videos and everything will be eventually updated when I get a clearer video of all the plants in the Dougherty Garden. Follow along as I work on all the pictures acquired over the years.
